The source claims the numbers are from AC Nielsen....

I summarized the important part, the rest of the article is just doing a comparison to VGChartz's numbers and talking about the discrepancies.

AC Nielsen, is of the important companies of diversification but of the world. There are no trustworthy numbers but in Spain that those.
That makes more sense, I know that Spain is the land of the raising Sony but, it is as well a land of not a lot of young people with high incomes.
The Wii it is still considered as an affordable console, contrary to the PS3 image.

Fun anecdote:
i went back to Spain for xmas and went to a game shop to buy some games for my family. The clerk shop said something totally unexpected about the 360. We all know that Spain is Sony land and the Wii is selling really well.
Apparently, there's an underground 360 community growing, which of course will not overtake on the sales of this year but, she mention that the core gamers were buying the 360 instead of the PS3 and lots of games with it (the always important attach rate)
Useless to say that this is just an anecdote from a shop on a little city but, to think that a clerk from Game (we all know how they are) would actually say that the 360 was starting to sell to a core audience very loyal in a small Spanish city is really funny.
It felt like I was witnessing the little village from Asterix, resisting against the Sony empire

Emm doesnt nielsen only survey people? wouldnt call that thrustworthy for sale info tbh.
Oh, one thing I forgot to translate before: The article says that the Wii became the leader of the current-gen console market after 22 weeks of being in the market, on the 1st of April. Since it also says that it's the best selling console of 2007, it's pretty much a given that the PS3 was never above it!
